Civil Engineering

External aerodynamicsThe virtual wind tunnel module enables you to simulate full-scale models and set inlet turbulence intensity and analyticalexpressions to describe the incoming wind profile. XFlowsimulations allow you to measure wind loads on buildings,bridges and other civil structures, analyze the air flow aroundthem, or study the transport of pollutants.

Free surfaceXFlow provides a free surface module which can be used toanalyze loads on structures such as:Offshore platforms, harbours or submerged pipelines indifferent sea statesSimulation of dam spillway and dam breakingFlooding of surface level or underground facilities

Thermal comfortThe thermal solver can be used to simulate the heating,ventilation and air-conditioning systems of indoor spaces. Withthe help of sensors to monitor the flow variables in specifiedlocations, XFlow is a suitable tool to optimize the location ofHVAC devices for thermal comfort.

Roof structuresIt is common to simulate the loads over stadium or largebuilding roof structures, and XFlow can provide averagedpressure distributions and transient data of maximum andminimum peaks.
